2 | 1 | This income includes my salary for Jan-Apr 2021 as well as a $100,000 loan forgiveness, which Stanford processed as compensation and which was taxed as such. As noted last year in my Nominee Report: on November 27, 2020, one month before I received a job offer from President Biden, I approached Stanford about accepting their offer from 2019 to forgive this loan. The loan forgiveness was processed in 2021. |
